Penalties for paying late
“It is up to you to ensure those payments are sufficient to cover your rates in full when they are due on the last Friday in November. If you fail to fully pay your rates with your automatic payments by the due date, you will be charged 10% penalty interest on any amount owing.” — Environment Southland's own wording.
10% penalty interest charged on any amount still owing after the single annual due date (the last Friday in November)
